Did Coca-Cola originally contain cocaine?
Yes, Coca-Cola
used to contain cocaine
.
The drink was named after two of its ingredients - coca leaf extract and kola nuts.
The amount of cocain was reduced due to public unease that was growing at the time about addiction and negative aspects of cocaine use.
The cocaine was fully removed in 1929 although the coca leaf is still used. Because cocaine is naturally present in coca leaves, today's Coca-Cola
uses treated coca leaves, which have been through a cocaine extraction process, to flavour the drink.

In the UK, we all change our clocks
and watches
by one hour, twice a year.
On the last Sunday in March we add an hour and go onto what is called British Summer Time (BST).
On the last Sunday in October we put our clocks
back one hour and adhere to Greenwich
Mean Time (GMT).
The clocks
are always changed at 01:00 GMT (02:00 BST).
In the Autumn (October), as we are on BST (British Summer Time) before the clocks
change, we change the clocks
at 02:00.
In the Spring (March) we are already on GMT so change the clocks
at 01:00.
An easy way to remember when the clocks
go forward or back is: "Spring forward, Fall back". It uses "Fall" which is the American term for Autumn but still serves as a simple reminder that the clocks
'spring forward' in the Spring and 'fall back' in the 'Fall' (Autumn).
When do other countries change their clocks?
European Union
- Most countries change their clocks
on the last Sundays of March and October.
North America
and most of Canada
change their clocks
on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November.
